In the RPG, the following governments and agencies own/operate named vessels. The designations they used as prefixes for the ships are as follows:

  • NASA/USAF - codes, such as OV-101, where the letters represented a mission type and the number was for sequentially designating a specific vessel within that mission
  • ESA - no prefixes; just named vessels, sometimes accompanied by a missions-series name (ex: Ponce de León - Aventeur II)
  • ISA - same as the ESA, except for rescue/regulatory cutters which are preceded by IRC, for either ISA Rescue Cutter or ISA Regulatory Cutter
  • ISA/NASA - Joint missions used USNS, for United Survey and Navigation Ship
  • UESN - UES, for United Earth Ship
  • UESF - starting with its founding in 2133, Starfleet re-designated all vessels as UESS, for United Earth Space Ship
  • UFP Star Fleet - when founded in 2161 the UFP Star Fleet designated vessels as USS, short for United Star Ship
  • Western Alliance - AWSS, for Alliance of Western States Ship
